Itsuki mentions on a number of occasions that his 'power' is only useable under certain conditions (ie, closed space). So what happened at the end of the film they made? Those effects when Itsuki defeats Yuki were certainly way higher quality than the rest (Mikuru Beam! lol), yet technically he shouldn't have been able to do that since he wasn't in closed space.

Side question for anyone that might know: Is Shamisen actually Kyon's cat? He seems to be portrayed alongside Kyon's sister in most shots we see him, so it seems likely that he belongs to Kyon (or his family/ sister/ whatever).

I think Haruhi would have made a bit more of a fuss about it if it actually happened on camera. Kyon probably ripped it off if FMP!'s Lambda Driver
Although it does look quite a but like Yuki's powers, too.

Spoiler for volume 2 of the novel:

That was due to Haruhi's power. She wanted the esp-guy to have really awesome powers on camera, thus Itsuki began to glow ^^

hey..did you guys noticed in the episode called "Live A Live" is actually a squaresoft game? and also The band name ENOZ is a possible reference to the once popular all-female band ZONE, which is ENOZ in reverse. Interestingly, ZONE also consisted of two guitarists, one bass & one drummer. Also, it mirrors the fact that ZONE disbanded after a majority of their members were about to graduate from High School. The original band members have names that are similar to their real life counterparts; Takako, Mai, Miyuki and Mizuki for the ENOZ, Takayo, Maiko, Miyu and Mizuho for ZONE, and are also playing their counterpart's instrument; Mai(Maiko) - bass, Mizuki(Mizuho) - drums, Miyuki(Miyu) - lead vocal. In all, this would be more of an homage to ZONE.

Yes, we've noticed... And if you read the relevant episode discussion thread, you will realise we've known that for quite some time.

I disagree with his notion that Kyon failed to identify with the common person and being lifeless. I think he had a lot of identifying with the viewer. He pretty much thinks exactly what we would think if faced with an over the top anime in real life.

We are the believers of Haruhi
we are the defender of the one true Brigade;
we seek fun and perfection, and we will destroy those who will stand in our way,
we are ESPers, Aliens and Time Travellers..
our Goddess have made us, as the strongest race that exists,
we have forsaken our mythical religion for the eternal power of Haruhi..
an ordinary magic is nothing but sleight-of-hand and mediocre tricks.
Those who employ it to further their own petty desires
are cowards who must be destroyed at all costs.

I've heard a rumor that there will be a 2nd season for this anime, and the title will be called "The Melancholy of Nagato Yuki", and then it follows on to Mikuru etc..... anyone have any idea of this?

Nope, its false info, kyoani hasn't said anything about a 2nd season.

kyoani will most probably follow the novels as well if they are going to start a 2nd season and the titles for all novels are Suzumiya Haruhi no <insert emotion>. So Yuki being the title character is not possible.

that means there is a chance that the won't start a 2nd season.... *sob*
I'm really looking forward to it, 14 eps arent enough at all. And also, what's with the 1000+ eps in the official website of suzumiya haruhi, some kind of a joke?

Its not really a joke, it probably has some hidden meaning, what it is, I do not know though. There had been various discussions and theories what those episode numbers mean, but I haven't seen one that makes perfect sense though lol

Mmmm, good obs skane, I didn't notice that either, and mysterique sign is before the LAN chronologically....

Perhaps she's always known the basics but didn't discover how to play the game/how to use cmd prompt.

Though I guess the weak point of this is that she's just moving the mouse around in a circle in the air when she first plays the game and even the most clueless newbs with computers know what the mouse is for...

Or perhaps KyoAnim/Tanigawa just screwed up. I've read most of the translated chaps of the novels but the mysterique sign isn't done and I haven't bothered to read up to where it is yet.
